Introduction: The Problem with Traditional Image Sharing
Are you still burning CDs to share radiology images with referring physicians? If so, you’re not alone—but there’s a much better way.
For years, imaging centers have relied on CDs and DVDs to deliver medical images. However, this outdated method comes with high costs, slow turnaround times, and security risks. Physicians prefer instant access to images, but CDs require mailing, physical handling, and specialized software to view studies.
What if you could eliminate CDs entirely and provide instant, secure image sharing digitally?
That’s exactly what Teresa Connect offers—a cloud-based, PACS-integrated solution that modernizes the way imaging centers share studies with referring physicians.
The Problem: Why CDs Are Holding Imaging Centers Back
-
Slow & Inefficient: Burning, labeling, and mailing CDs takes valuable staff time. A study that should be accessible in seconds may take days to reach a referring physician.
-
High Costs: Every CD/DVD costs money—materials, labor, postage, and IT resources add up. Imaging centers spend thousands per year on outdated workflows.
- Security & Compliance Risks: CDs can be lost, stolen, or damaged, putting protected health information (PHI) at risk.
- Limited Accessibility: Referring physicians need a computer with a disc drive or special software to view images—many prefer instant, cloud-based access instead.
Clearly, CDs are no longer the best solution. But what’s the alternative?
